Sensor integration comprises:
- Position, Heading and PPS from a satellite compass
- Roll, Pitch and Heave from a motion sensor
NOTE: This manual supports the WSP-400-280 product including an
integrated WSP-038 sensor. On the side of the sensor box there will be a label
to confirm this. Previous versions of the Sensor Box were shipped without a
label and contain a Spatial sensor which requires a dierent configuration.
If you are using a sensor from an external supplier, you need to get a copy of
the appropriate manual to configure the unit correctly.

3 WASSP SENSOR BOX INSTALLATION
3.1. WASSP SENSOR BOX MOUNTING
The WASSP Sensor Box should be installed taking the following into consideration:
» WASSP Sensor Box should be as close to the vessels centre of motion as possible
(usually very close to the vessel centre of gravity). This will give optimum motion
sensor performance which is essential to achieve acceptable WASSP performance
» Cabling from the GPS Compass and WASSP system needs to be accessible.
» Flat rigid mounting location is required for optimum motion sensor performance.
Pitch accuracy should be +/- 2 degrees.
» WASSP Sensor Box needs to be mounted accurately in fore/aft vessel orientation as
per the arrow on the box. Angular accuracy should be +/- 1 degree.
» Area needs to have space for connectors.
Once a suitable location and fixing plate is identified the WASSP Sensor Box should be
mounted using the supplied mounting pieces and instructions supplied with the box.
NOTE: WASSP Sensor Box needs to be mounted aligned fore/aft as per the
arrow on the box. Tolerances are +/- 1 degree fore/aft and +/- 2 degrees pitch.
3.2.1. Satellite Compass
To connect the Satellite Compass Connection connect the cable to the internal terminal
block as per the instructions below.
1. Strip 50mm of the outer insulation from the Hemisphere cable exposing the
coloured cables.
2. Cut o unused cables, see “Appendix A.3 Satellite Compass Terminal Block” on
page 20 for required cable.
3. Strip back 5mm of insulation from all the remaining wires and twist them (tin them
if practical).
4. Open the connection box by unlatching the 4 screws on top of the box.
To open the connection box,
twist all 4 screws half a rotation
anti-clockwise.
Figure 9. WASSP Sensor Box Alignment
3.2. WASSP SENSOR BOX CONNECTION
Refer to “1 Interconnection diagram” on page 6 for system configuration.
For sensor configuration, the following connections are required:
» Power
» Configuration cable to a PC, for IMU configuration (See “4 Sensor Configuration” on
page 12).
» IMU - Internal to WASSP Sensor Box
NOTE: If Hemisphere Satellite Compass requires configuration this can also be
connected
For operation, the following connections are required:
» Power
» WASSP Cable to DRX or WASSP PC
5. Insert the Satellite Compass cable into the box through the gland. Insert the wires
into the terminal block seen below and then tighten the terminal screws. See
“Appendix A.3 Satellite Compass Terminal Block” for Satellite Compass pin out.
When the cable connection is made, tighten the gland and make sure the cable is
secured.

CAUTION: Noise due to poor grounding will have direct impact on DRX
performance and signal integrity (RS-232 is particularly susceptible).
Configure the DRX using the DRX SETUP WEBPAGES. If the DRX version supports PRESETS
the sensor setup can be automated for Port Setup, Data Setup, Corrections and PPS using
the Configuration Presets.
Sensor osets will need to be input manually.
Refer to the DRX Installation Manual for more details.
